Synopsis:
<p><strong>Frederick Buechner is one of the most gifted writers of his generation, and his legacy casts a long shadow over Christian letters today.</strong> As a memoirist, he opened up an entirely new way to think about the genre. As a novelist, hewas a finalist for the Pulitzer. And as a theologian and preacher, he pioneered the art of making theology accessible for a popular audience.Yet for all Buechner's enormous influence, many readers today are unfamiliar with his work, or have read himonly in one genre. In this book, Buechner expert Jeffrey Munroe presents a collection of the true "essentials" from across Buechner's diverse catalog, as well as an overview of Buechner's life and a discussion of the state of his literary legacy today.Here is Buechner in all his complex glory, ready to delight and inspire again.</p>
